Dental Team at Refugee Camp

Here are some photos of the Africa Mercy's dental team in action at a UN run refugee camp here in Benin. The refugees mostly left neighbouring Togo during periods of political and military instability, and haven't yet returned for one reason or another - maybe living conditions in the camp are better than those back home, or maybe their lives would be at risk if they returned to Togo. I have to say that looking at the photos, the living conditions are way better than those of the majority of people in Liberia - the camp has security, electricity, running water & latrines, a playground, food provided by UNHCR and medical care for the kids provided by UNICEF.
